Favourite movie scenes/moments!

Well being a huge fan of movies myself, and having seen a rather surprising amount of movies (but at the same time, not nearly enough!), I have decided to compile a list of my favourite moments from my favourite films!

So let's go in alphabetical order, shall we? Let's journey into the land of film!!

Starting of the list will of course be Breakfast At Tiffany's! This movie is just downright amazing and a feel good film! haha! Anywhooo, yes onto my favourite scene... well there are three main ones which come to mind, but I'm going to have to go with the oh so amazing "Moon River" scene, you know the one! For those of you living under a rock, it's the scene where Holly sings "Moon River" on her window ledge... ring any bells? I sincerely hope you have sirens going off in your head, and if not GO WATCH BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY'S NOW!!!



Next is... Ferris Bueller's Day Off! So this movie might be one of the funniest movies ever! My favourite scene would be the one with the teacher (Ben Stein) doing the roll call, "Bueller, Buller, Bueller..." and then showing the empty chair!! HAHA! So great!



Moving on... Forrest Gump yes another classic right here! Such a great movie though, I have seen it countless times and yet I still love it! I'm just going to put the quote here because I think everyone will know what I'm talking about, and if not... that's rather sad! haha!

"My mama always said, life was like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get"



Meh, that's enough for now... I'm bored. Perhaps one day I will continue with my other favourite movies!! I think I'm going to compile a list of alllll the movies I have seen! Or try to at least? Yes, another summer project! haha

Goodbye! As for my quote, one I love from a Beatles song!

"All you need is love, love. Love is all you need." - The Beatles, All You Need Is Love

B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L

I'm having so much fun just browsing around online looking at beautiful pictures! I think I may have found a new favourite photographers, Amanda Pratt, and David Tsay ... check them out!! I should get a reward for working SO hard today, went to the library and studied chapters 1,2 and 3 for my math exam, and started making science notes! Now a leeettle bit of relaxing before I'm off to math tutor... JOY!

And now for three GORGEOUS (summer) shots!







check out her website, she takes such beautiful pictures... I'm thinking of making a collage, or something! We'll see, if I ever have enough time! I need an inspiration scrapbook... summer project I suppose!


And just this final one, reminds me of summer days at the cottage feeding the ducks!


Thanks to kateryaninc.com and pixdaus.com for the beautiful shots! Now the question is, which one should I set as my new background?

cheers!

Horoscope!

What's better than wasting your time reading your horoscope? Hmm, sometimes they can be oddly accurate and other times waaay off! Here's mine for today, June 1st!

- It’s more than possible that you’ll be torn between keeping your family happy, and doing something that you want to do with your friends. The truth is boredom will be your worst enemy today, so make sure that you do something new and challenging in order to feel invigorated again!

monthly horoscope, for June! Perfect timing, it's a new month! (Where on earth did May go?!?!)

This will not be an easy month for those born under the sign of the Ram as your natural tendencies are likely to lead to some unwelcome conflict. As a Ram you find it easy to charge ahead with your plans without consulting those around you. This month you need to try and listen a little more carefully to their advice.

Romantically, though, this could be an exciting time. The passionate approach that may not be helpful in many areas of your life will prove very helpful in the world of emotions. You will need to decide whether you are ready to make a genuine commitment.

Oooh sounds exciting! Hmm, I wonder if any of it is accurate. Perhaps once June is done I can do a recap to see how far off this was! haha

Well, that's all of now! Byee!

Summerrr!

So with summer on the way, and my brain currently being in summer mode, I REALLY don't want to do any work... so, I've decided to use some of my insane procrastination skills and create a few summer looks using the best procrastination tool out there...polyvore! So, some of my dream summer outfits... aah in my dream world!!

summerrr by alacrity featuring Marc by Marc Jacobs shoes

Love in the city by alacrity featuring Balenciaga bags

Ooook, well that took a while! haha! Hmm I'm in a summer mood.. favourite summer things anyone?

Song: "Summer In The City" by The Lovin' Spoonful, how can you listen to this song and be in a bad mood! I love it!
Food: Mint Chocolate Chip Kawartha Dairies Ice Cream... yuumm! and cucumber haha! I'm obsessed with cucumber, I can't get enough of it!
Summer 2009 movie: Harry Potter 6 (who doesn't love a good Harry Potter?)
Vacationing spot: Kefalonia, Greece. Although I can't stay there for too long, I get bored! haha
Summer read 2009: THE GATECRASHER by Madeleine Wickham, who also goes by Sophie Kinsella. I love all of her books, they are light a fun. Perhaps I will read a more "intense" book as well... but definitely this one for a light summer read!
Activity: I'm leaning towards bike rides or roller blading, I got a new pair of roller blades today!! woo!

Hmm, well not much else to post about, well I'm off to browse around online, perhaps I will be back with some items I'm coveting!

In the mood of summer which to me means happiness, well here's another hopefully somewhat inspirational happy quote!

"Happiness is not having what you want, but wanting what you have." - Rabbi Hyman Schachtel

byeee!

I've been hit by boredom!

Ah yes, boredom has hit me and I have nothing to do... Well I've been reading some blogs tonight, and they have really inspired me to re-vamp my own blog. So I've got a new layout going with my absolute favourite picture in the entire world. Isn't it just beautiful? Well, I think so... clearly since I've been going on about it for like half an hour.

Anywho, I added a quote from my favourite song of the moment, "Shattered" by Trading Yesterday. If you haven't heard this song, it's a must; it's amazing! All Trading Yesterday's songs are perfection. Check them out :) their music is 10 times better than the crap they play on the radio these days... like honestly, all of Lady Gaga's songs sound the exact same.

Hmm, well I haven't really felt in the mood to write for a while, and on the odd occasion that I do, I don't have enough time, but here's one of my favourite poems that I have written, check it out. Do not steal, copyright 2009.

Restless Love

My love for you is restless

You may say it reminds you of the waves in the ocean

always moving, and changing

Suddenly.

A strong wind picks up

And the waves change direction.

Today I love you, and know you are the one

Tomorrow, without warning.

I change my mind.

You are not who I thought you were

The decision is making me restless

Do I marry you?

Do I leave you?

My mind is always changing directions

You may say it reminds you of the waves in the ocean

Today you are like the current, sweeping me away

Tomorrow you are like the whirlpool

Slowly pulling me under.

My love for you is constantly changing

Like the undercurrents in the ocean

One second moving right, then next going left

Do I marry you?

Do I leave you?

Anyways, that's all for now. Quite boring, but I guess I'll update again soon... perhaps this blog could actually be fun?

And to finish off with my favourite quote of the moment, I hope it gives you some inspiration!

"We all die. The goal isn't to live forever, the goal is to create something that will." - Chuck Palahniuk

HOLA amigos!

So i couldn't figure out how to update my blog.. thankfully Emma helped me out.. sooo uh basically I'm an idiot who doesn't know how to work a blog!

Right, well it's been about a month since my last update... sorrryyyyyy! I suck at this whole blog thing, and honestly I'm quite lazy to write out what's been going on with me... incase anyone is wondering.. 'NUFF stuff as been going on!

uuuuh... uh it snowed here today... yeah I know don't be TOO excited!

AH AH oops, I just pressed some button which made my screen HUGE, so now everything is in like 500+ font.. I feel like a blind old woman... that goes well with my old woman not-being-able-to-figure-out-a-blog. Maybe I'll take a picture and put it on here so anyone who is interested can see how weird this is.... or maybe not being that is kinda dull.

Hmm what else to report? uuum OH YEAH! MY BIRTHDAY IS 2MONTHS AWAAY! yaaay "sweet sixteen, gonna spread my wings, sweet sixteen, it's my chance to shine, sweet sixteen, discovering, sweet sixteen, so much more to life!" yeah, and now ironically "When I'm 64" by the Beatles, (my more appropriate song considering the state of my computer) is playing right now on my itunes... haha

AH ok, my new obsession. SUMMER HEIGHTS HIGH. K if you haven't seen it, YOU NEED TO SEE IT. FUNNIEST SHOW EVER! aah i died. like literally SO funny... I SAID PUCK YOU MISS (ah Jonah, I love you).

Well... now i've run out of things to say, well to tell the truth I'm just kinda hungry, and I really want chocolate cake, so i'm going to see if we have any chocolate cake mix and make some... don't mind that it is 10pm...

"Live & learn: people always leave." not sure the original quoter person, but Emma said this to me.. and it's just LOL worthy, it's so caj.
